“The mountains melt like wax at the Presence of the Lord, before the LORD of all the earth” (Psalm 97:5) Welcome back dear student, problems and busyness can easily pile up into mountains. When Life Becomes Overwhelming Time goes by very quickly when demands are high. Some work better with deadlines; others carefully plan and prepare well in advance. ‘Pressure is for tyres’ they say, but it’s easy to get stressed.
